BANANA is a fluid group helmed by artist, producer and multi-instrumentalist Josiah Steinbrick and featuring Cate Le Bon, Warpaint's Stella Mozgawa, Huw Evans, and Josh Klinghoffer. In January 2017, the group released their debut project, LIVE, on LEAVING Records. Josiah Steinbrick will also be supporting Devendra Banhart on his Spring 2017 tour.
Drawing inspiration from Jon Hassell's concept of 'fourth world music', in which the tradition of Western / Classical Music is decentralized and replaced with a broader understanding and respect to the musical histories of peripheral or overlooked cultures, BANANA brings a free-form, eclectic sound that touches on varioustemporal and musical references from minimalism, abstract jazz, South East Asian ceremonials and exotica.
